Dear Parents,

The Denali Montessori Gala will be at the Anchorage Museum on Friday, May 13. We will be auctioning baskets that evening to raise funds for our Montessori program. Our class has been assigned to gather items for a basket to be auctioned. Our basket theme is “Garden Lover”. If you would like to help build our basket by sending in gardening items like trowels, gardening gloves, a tractor, gift certificates to gardening shops, a weed whacker or anything else gardening related, we would really appreciate it. Please send those items in by May 6. Thanks for your support!

Here is hopefully, our final field trips list. Tuesday, April 19 we will be visiting the museum from 9:45-2:00. Wednesday, April 20 we will be going to the U.S. District Court to be part of a trial, “U.S. vs. Goldilocks” and possibly visit some jail cells from 9:45-12:00. Tuesday, April 26 we will hike and have a picnic at the Eagle River Nature Center from 9:15-1:45. Thursday, April 28 we will walk to the Pioneer School House for a tour from 12:30-3:00. Tuesday, May 3 we will be going to the Native Heritage Center from 9:20-1:30 for a tour of all the wonderful things they have to offer. Thursday, May 5 we will go to the Performing Arts Center to see “Scrap Arts Music”. Tuesday, May 10^th we will be going to Russian Jack Park for the primary grade orienteering meet. We’ll be driving to this one and will leave at about 9:30 and return about 12:30. Thursday, May 12, we will make our final museum visit from 9:45-2:00. Friday, May 13 we will be going to the West High Pool for the Kids Don’t Float activities. We will drive to the pool at about 1:00 and return at about 3:15. The last day of school, Thursday, May 19 we will have our annual Primary Wing Barbecue at Valley of the Moon Park from 10:00-2:30. One more important event will be the 3^rd Grade Recognition ceremony, we have to say good-bye to our third graders and wish them well as they move on to fourth grade. We are planning to have this ceremony on Friday, May 6 from 2:20-3:15. 3^rd grade parents please let me know if that date will not work for you as soon as possible. Put these dates on your calendar and we would love to have you join us if possible. I have sent home permission slips for our next two trips in today’s folder.

I know the students have really missed it, so I have sent homework in today’s folder! We will have the spelling test next Friday, April 15.

            If you have any questions or concerns, please e-mail me at moyer_craig@asdk12.org or call or write me a note.

Sincerely,
